I love how this hat turned out. I am head over heels in love with the stitch pattern as well as the little details that make this hat oh so classy. I ordered a bunch of metal buttons to use with my projects and I couldn't be more happy. The hats look adorable on the little models and I am sure you will love it too. You can stop at the brim and keep it as a Beanie or add the visor and turn it into a Newsboy hat. The Newsboy is my personal favorite and I think it looks very elegant. The fluorescent orange hat was made by my 10 year old and she was elated to see it modeled. Her work is so neat, I am a proud mama. Another designer in the family, may be :).

Have you always loved the look of knit hats? Then this crochet hat pattern is for you. A simple variation of regular half double crochet stitch will give you this knit or tunisian crochet look. Using a smooth yarn will give you a knit look while using a regular one will give you a tunisian crochet look. The single ply smooth green yarn I used in the sample was Stitch Nations Full O' Sheep It was discontinued but you can find it on Ebay. I got the purple and grey yarn from a local yarn store. Lion Brand Landscapes yarn could be a good substitute. You can even use the regular yarns available but it would look more tunisian than knit like the cream hat above.

*Suggested Yarns: The yarn I used is Stitch Nations Full O' Sheep, a single ply yarn with a smooth texture. It is available on Ebay and Amazon. Lion Brand Landscapes yarn could be a good substitute. Using a regular yarn like Vanna's choice would give a Tunisian crochet look like the cream hat.

I had in fact designed this mittens last Fall, but never found the time to test and write the final draft. Well, I am so glad I published it now. This is my first time using the Red Heart Boutique unforgettable yarn and I absolutely love it. You could make almost 2 pairs using a skein and they come in a lot of attractive colorways. I will definitely be using more of this yarn in the future. If any of you make this mittens, please share a picture with me. Since the yarn is so gorgeous I decided to name the pattern after the yarn itself. The yarn has a shiny smooth texture which is not captured in the photographs. The pattern is written to make a pair of seamless gloves. I hope you will give this lovely pattern a try.
